Well, okay it might be a little bad, but hear me out.

The post says: "Gear 12 Finishers." this sounds like it's only going to be one piece to finish off gearing once and for all. It also sounds like it'll be a reward for the Geonosian TB, so it might be a quick farm. Or not. We don't really have any way of telling at this point.

But I don't think this is going to be full G13 and I don't think it'll ruin the game. Additionally, if it is a TB reward, whales won't be able to just straight up purchase this gear, so if you're F2P, you might not be in trouble. (Albeit, those in higher tier guilds will most likely get more of this gear.) Then again, we don't know if it even will be a TB reward.

All this to say: don't panic just yet. I've got a feeling this'll only be one piece and not game-breaking.

EDIT: CG_SBCrumb has just confirmed: It's only going to be one piece to finish off G12. There will be a "Shiny new portrait to go with the completion of G12. So there will be no G13 pieces.

Just to clarify, Gear 13 is not coming with the new Geonosian Territory Battle.
CG_Cyanides only is referring to the last piece to finish off G12. This will get you to G13 with a shiny new portrait (just like completing G11 gets you to G12) but there are no G13 gear pieces being released with the Geonosis Territory TB.
